| 3 | This page is part of the character sheet for ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'', covering '''Plant''' creatures. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Plants are precisely what they sound like -- {{Planimal}}s, animated plants and plant-based creatures of various sorts. In 1st Edition, fungal creatures were also included in this category, before being split off in 2nd Edition. Wood elementals, which are classified as both Plants and Elementals, are covered in Characters/PathfinderElementals. |

| 13 | * NoSell: Plants are immune to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, patterns and phantasms), paralysis, poison, polymorph, sleep and stun. |
| 14 | * {{Planimal}}: Nearly all the plants that are treated as creatures have one or a few traits of animals, including but not limited to mobility, mixotrophy, intelligence... the ones that do not have said traits tend to be treated as scenery instead. |

| 27 | Plants whose calming odor erases memories of its hostile actions even as it attacks. |
| 28 | ---- |
| 29 | * AlluringFlowers: Alraunes entice prey into approaching by releasing a soothing smell, which they can bolster by opening their flowers to reveal a humanoid body that they can shape to match their target's ideal of beauty. Once its prey is close enough, the alraune kills it and then roots itself in its decomposing corpse. |
| 30 | * BuriedAlive: When an alraune needs prey, it convinces foes to dig their own graves and bury themselves. Once prey is helplessly buried in the soil, the alraune can feed from it. |
| 31 | * PlantPerson: When an alraune attacks, its flower blooms, revealing an attractive, green-skinned humanoid form within. |

| 34 | [[folder:Arboreal]] |
| 35 | Towering humanoid trees native to the depths of Golarion's oldest and largest forests, the arboreals -- also known as treants -- consider themselves the wardens of the wilderness from the expansionism of the younger races living around them. Tobongos are larger and more powerful treants found in the Mwangi Expanse.\ |
| 36 | \ |
| 37 | Arboreals are divided into a number of varieties groups. Wardens are the rangers of arboreal society and endlessly patrol their home forests, rarely taking root in the same place twice. On occasion, their wanderlust can cause them to organize into copses to venture beyond the bounds of the woodlands where they were born. Regents are the wardens and protectors of entire forests, and unlike wardens are solitary and sedentary beings who rely on the more active wardens to bring them news of the surrounding world, but who can bring immense power to bear should their forests be endangered. Reapers maintain the cycles of death and decay that nature depends on, and also react actively to threats to their domain. Archives are living repositories of lore and knowledge, advising councils of regents when a decision needs to be made.\ |

| 42 | ---- |
| 43 | * BirdPoopGag: A popular arboreal competition is bird casting: attract a flock of birds while staying completely still, then send the birds flying with an artful shake. Some strive to send the terrified flock toward a rival, showering the latter in droppings. |
| 44 | * DueToTheDead: Arboreals have a great respect for dead members of their species. Their elaborate burial rituals involve laying the dead down in a mossy bed in the middle of a grove of saplings. The decomposing arboreal nourishes the saplings, ensuring the growth of a new generation. |
| 45 | * EatDirtCheap: Since they cannot digest most food, many arboreals enjoy chewing minerals, crushing small rocks to absorb key minerals while on the move. |
| 46 | * GreenThumb: They have the ability to animate and command up to two nearby trees, and to communicate with any intelligent plant-based creature. |
| 47 | * HealThyself: Since an arboreal's arms develop from two favourite branches which receive additional nutrients, growth and flexibility, lost arms can be regrown or replaced by modifying an existing branch. However, this relies on the arboreal's continued focus and takes years; an apathetic arboreal might never regrow completely. |
| 48 | * LongLived: They have extremely long lifespans. A tobongo (a type of treant native to tropical jungles) named Dimari-Diji is thought to be the oldest living creature on Golarion and is old enough to remember the fall of the ''Starstone'' nearly ten thousand years in the past. |
| 49 | * MagicEater: For arboreals, primal magic is a nutrient. A few learn to redirect this power as primal spellcasting, yet for most it's just an essential vitamin. When an arboreal is sick or injured, primal energy can leak out in unpredictable displays. |
| 50 | * StarfishLanguage: The Arboreal language is a thrumming tongue that includes many creaks, groans, hums, grunts and occasional thumps layered atop a barely audible drone, which many L2 speakers struggle to replicate. |
| 51 | * {{Treants}}: They come straight out of the Tolkien mold, with an extremely long-winded language, the ability to animate and control trees and gatherings called moots that can last for months. They also take increased damage from axes and grow from acorns the size of a human head. There's a tropical variant called the tobongo, which lives in jungles and can turn people into trees. The name is even the same, though they get renamed to arboreal regents come 2e. |
| 52 | * WhenTreesAttack: Arboreals can walk and fight their enemies directly, and some can animate normal trees to allow them to move and fight the forest's foes as well. |
| 53 | * WhoEvenNeedsABrain: Rather than concentrating functions in anything approximating a brain, an arboreal's nervous system spans most of their body. In practice, this decentralised distribution is inefficient, making many arboreals appear slow-witted. Likewise, bodily harm can destroy certain memories, and occasionally a memory wanders into an errant leaf or twig before snapping off. |

| 101 | * DefeatEqualsExplosion: If an arboreal archive dies unexpectedly before passing on their knowledge in a succession ritual, the amassed lore within their roots and boughs explodes out in a shock wave. |
| 102 | * TransferableMemory: When an arboreal archive senses that death is coming soon, they transfer their collected wisdom to the elected replacement before retiring. |
| 103 | * TheWatcher: Arboreal archives keep mental records of the passing seasons of the world around them. They primarily observe and record rather than interfere, but they willingly offer wisdom to those who respectfully seek them out. |

| 200 | ->'''Size:''' Large |
| 201 | ---- |
| 202 | * CollectorOfTheStrange: The drainberry bush greatly prefers interesting art objects over money as payment for its berries. As drainberry bushes sell their berries to others, they collect coins and small curios, like a cameo depicting a fey noble or a lock of golden hair knotted in a complex pattern. Not all of these baubles have monetary value, but those that don't certainly had emotional value to the original owner. |
| 203 | * VampiricDraining: The drainberry bush must drain blood from living creatures for sustenance. |
| 204 | * YouNoTakeCandle: A drainberry bush can telepathically convey only short and simple phrases, like 'Money please', 'Deal good', 'Deal no good', or 'Want that' (with a gesture toward an item it covets). |

| 233 | Ancient personifications of forests and plant life. |
| 234 | ---- |
| 235 | * ForestRanger: A very plant-focused version of this. Green men are devoted to protecting the forests they inhabit against invasion, damage and despoilment, but they only really care about the vegetable life within them -- they have very little interest in the fauna, ecosystem, waters and geology of their homes; as long as the plants are all right, they couldn't care less about what happens to the rest. |
| 236 | * GreenThumb: Most of the green men's magic revolves around plant life -- they can animate regular plants, control them, talk with them and make them grow, create [[TheHedgeOfThorns walls of thorns]], summon plants and plant-based creatures to their location, lash out with whiplike vines at their foes, and [[{{Transflormation}} turn people into plants]]. |
| 237 | * KingMook: Green men bear a strong resemblance to larger and far more powerful versions of the diminutive leshys, and are held by legend to have been the ones to teach druids how to create leshys in the first place. As a result, they are referred to as "leshy kings" by certain texts and scholars. |
| 238 | * {{Transflormation}}: Green men emit an aura that causes any non-plant creature that comes within sixty feet of them to slowly transform into a nonmagical plant, unless it succeeds at a Fortitude save. |

| 271 | * HealingFactor: Heartrot trees are difficult to kill, and can regrow after being destroyed in a matter of weeks unless their stump is burnt. |

| 767 | ---- |
| 768 | * FedToTheBeast: In certain rural areas, criminals have taken the somewhat dangerous tradition of using crypt flowers to dispose of corpses. Complex pens or troughs are built to contain the flowers and limit their movements so that they can be fed with relative safety. |

| 776 | |
| 777 | The result of centuries of plant husbandry, flowering lattices are delicate networks of vines that form blossoming nets laden with fruits, berries, and flowers. As many as 12 varieties of flower grow from an individual flowering lattice, with each bloom opening at different times of the year and hours of the day to ensure a nearly constant array of colorful petals. |

| 797 | * FusionDance: If at least 12 gluttongrasses take root in a single contiguous area, their roots begin to commingle.

| 857 | |
| 858 | As the blood of fey guardians is spilled and spirits of ancient plants and wild places are destroyed, the wild power sometimes weaves itself into the sawdust and shavings left behind by loggers, spawning mindlessly destructive masses of detritus called sawdust sloughs. |
| 859 | ---- |
| 860 | * GaiasVengeance: As Andoren loggers kill fey guardians and spirits of ancient plants and wild places, the wild power sometimes weaves itself into the sawdust and shavings left behind, spawning sawdust sloughs. Sawdust sloughs are drawn to loud noises and vibrations, especially metallic sounds such as chopping and sawing, and savagely attack loggers and mills. |
| 861 | * MadeOfIncendium: Sawdust sloughs and the particulate cloud surrounding them are highly flammable, causing any damaging flame around them to flare up. |
| 862 | * SeeTheInvisible: A sawdust slough constantly releases particles of plant matter that form a cloud of choking dust which clings to and reveals invisible creatures. |

| 891 | * ThatsNoMoon: A weedwhip looks like a normal plant when at rest, and rarely attacks unless provoked, but its unpleasant smell and tendency to sprout in any passable soil makes it a nuisance to farmers and settlers who will be met with a nasty surprise when they try to cull the weedwhip. |
